The whole aim of practical politics is to keep the populace alarmed (and hence clamorous to be led to safety) by menacing it with an endless series of hobgoblins, all of them imaginary.

Michael Dentith and Stephen T. Mudge have offered an excellent new text book
“Geophysics for the Mineral Exploration Geoscientist”

This high quality, beautifully produced, full-colour text book provides, in over 400 pages of text and diagrams, everything the mineral explorer needs to know about how geophysics is applied to mineral exploration. If you don’t buy this book, you’re not serious about being a mineral explorer!

Click here for details. Read them, then place your order.

Teacher Earth Science Education Programme

Teacher Earth Science Education Programme (TESEP) is seeking partners to help fund this initiative to encourage more secondary school students to consider careers in earth sciences.
TESEP has received many new partners including the Australian Institute of Geoscientists (AIG) and the Geological Society of Australia (GSA), university groups from Macquarie, Sydney and Melbourne and companies such as Woodside, Beach Petroleum and GeoDynamics. In addition TESEP has partnered with the Australian Science Teachers Association (ASTA). ASTA has agreed to administer the business operations of TESEP and provide all necessary logistical support in running the TESEP workshops and other activities.

TESEP has developed a national plan to run teacher professional development workshops on key areas of topical interest and curriculum relevance between 2008 and 2010 and may be in a position to commence operations mid year. However, to ensure we can commence in 2008 we need further partners to come on board. Only a few more partners and we will be assured of commencing this year but if we get many more we can be not only certain of starting but confident of really making a big impact as we go forward into 2009 and 2010.
